the blog

If you want to write more frequently, say a daily blog, a book, or even a journal, the first and perhaps biggest step is to cut the amount of email communication you do.

The average office worker sends about 40 emails per day and receives about 70 a day. If you took five minutes to send each one, and cut it down by 10%, you’d have 20 minutes a day freed to blog.​You might find you didn’t need to send those emails anyway, and you’ll receive less emails with fewer people responding to your outbound emails.

If you’re lucky, as I have been, you might find tremendous value writing for a different more proactive purpose.
